Wow! What can I say? This was a really REALLY good movie! I have to admit, I've never been too much of a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, but this movie is REALLY good! Its creepy as hell. YEs, it does have some HUGE plot holes and stuff. But still it's a fun movie. I recomend it. :yes:

very good movie!
I have to admit, it kept everyone on the edge of their seats pretty much the whole way through, and there were some very unexpected suprises too!  (i.e.  HIGHLIGHT: dog jumping up at the children, the hand coming from under the pantry door, etc.)

One thing that I found amusing was the soundtrack :) lol
The entire soundtrack was like the same 3 or 4 second sound clip, but at different pitches... lol :)
next time you see it pay attention to that detail!

All in all, i found it to be a very good movie!

I quite liked the soundtrack! But you're right. They really didn't play too elaborate musical ques. But that just added to creepyness. But heres a KICKASS remix of the main theme from Signs!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

I do have one little question about the film...
*Spoiler*
Why the hell would an advanced alien species who have a weakness for water invade a planet that is 70% covered by it? And if they had no choise, why didn't they just wear some sort of hasmat suit or just drop by the closest 7-11 and nick a few raincoats. Oh well. Who cares, good movie. :D

A great horror movie. A major let down for what I expected it to be, though. I expected more Sixth-sense or Hitchcock style tricks, coincedences, plot twists and such, (not a remake of War of the Worlds. Good points about the water in the atmosphere. I'm not looking too much into it; it's not worth picking over, it's a horror movie.)

See it with your date, but don't expect too much analysis afterwards.

Edited by request.

as Galactic Emperor said, it's NOT a remake of War of the Worlds...

they just mention it in the movie, but it's not really a remake!
